You know what? I’m growing somewhat weary of people talking about getting rid of #Amazon and #Meta and the other big boys like it’s the easiest thing in the world and if you’re not doing it you’re part of the problem. I would love to just break up with them, now that Bezos and Zuck have shown us beyond any doubt the types of humans they are. But here’s the thing. I can’t. In particular, #Amazon is a part of my life’s fabric to the point where I can’t just decouple from it. For those of us who don’t have the freedom to just jump in the car whenever they need something, Amazon gives the ability to purchase things independently and receive them in a timely manner. And for those of us with limited disposable income Amazon Prime is a beneficial tool. Never underestimate the value of not having to pay for shipping. And Zuck might be evil but #Facebook and #FacebookMessenger are my prime source of communication with certain family and friends. So judge if you feel you must, but just know when you do that I’m just doing what I feel I need to do. I don’t feel good about it at all, but sad to say, it is what it is.

@xoron I don't want to discourage you at all - in fact I think your goal is not just noble but also worth aspiring to.

  • My recommendation is always to scout out existing solutions, protocols and standards and see if those can be salvaged / used and if not, reason why. #PGP/MIME may seem crusty but a good UI can make it easy. Same.goes for #OMEMO & #OTR...

But whatever you do, please "DO NOT DIY ENCRYPTION!"

  • Instead delegate it to drop-in libraries (i.e. crypto++ for C++) that are well, maintained and getting audited.

Prioritize features early on and make a decision what you want and if/how these can be accomplished. If necessary, have different modes / functions one has to context-switch (i.e. videocalling can't work in an airgapped network unless your callers are in the same (W)LAN).

  • If possible choose to stay platform-independent in terms of tech, so like #WebCall, #JitsiMeet, etc. you can simply package that up with nw.js... (Except if you need like a minimalist, (n)curses-style TUI tool like #enc)

User-test early on. Espechally with "#TechIlliterates", if you can.

  • Focus on a #MVP (minimum viable product) early on.

Write #documentation early on since that'll remove headaches. And I don't just mean #CommentYourCode but go deep and explain in detail why you chose something. This will help not just you.

Make yourself a list what you like and dislike from those.

Don't be afraid if your #App can't tick all the boxes at first release. Rather feel free to slowly ibtegrate them.

Needless to say I do sincerely wish you good luck and only the best in terms of success.

Europeans have clear favorites when it comes to staying connected!

- WhatsApp dominates in Western & Southern Europe 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇩🇪
- FB Messenger is popular in the Nordics & parts of Central Europe 🇸🇪 🇵🇱 🇭🇺
- Telegram takes the lead in Eastern Europe & Russia 🇷🇺 🇧🇾 🇺🇦
- Viber is strong in the Balkans 🇬🇷 🇲🇰 🇧🇬

The messaging app landscape shows just how diverse communication preferences are across the continent! 💬

Diese #Chatkontrolle sollte auf allen Kanälen erfolgen:

➡️ Emails
➡️ Posts und Direktnachrichten in sozialen Netzwerken
➡️ Chats in Onlinespielen
➡️ Instant Messengern wie den #FacebookMessenger, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Threema, #Telegram

Während die Anbieter von ersteren Diensten oft den Klartext der Nachrichten sowieso zu sehen bekommen, ist dies bei Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselten #Messenger|n schwierig. Und da liegt der Knackpunkt.

@GrapheneOS Signal is too able to hand over stuff, and they too will.

Tho thankfully we live ib a world where we don't just have Ketchup (Telegram), Majo (Signal) and Mustard (#WhatsApp / #FacebookMessenger) as options, but various others to fulfill case-by-case needs.

Like @zulip / #Zulip, @delta / #deltaChat, #IRC & #XMPP+#OMEMO like @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim / #Gajim.

So I have this super weird bug on Facebook Messenger since a while ago, and no answer from support:
The option to delete the conversation and the "info" icon doesn't show only in one conversation (other options that are not important to me don't appear as well). This happened before with 2 other different conversations, but then those options appeared and I was able to delete it like I wanted. But with this specific conversation I can't. I tried archiving it, using messenger on my computer, but nothing works and it's been months. Also, I video call this person everyday, so this is a frequent conversation (don't ask why I want to deleted it then, it's like my lifestyle lol).
Can you help me, please?
